Including filter system and high-performance Lead filter.
Lead in household water most often comes from plumbing materials rather than the treatment plant. When water sits against older pipes, solder or some brass fixtures it can leach tiny amounts of lead into the water you use every day. Because lead has no reliable taste or smell, it can be present even when water from your tap seems normal — something many Ojus homeowners discover through testing, inspections, or utility notices.
Low or variable lead levels can be especially frustrating because they may change by faucet, time of day, or how long water has been standing in the lines; hot water often pulls more lead than cold, which matters for bathing and cooking. Replacing suspect plumbing can help, but in a neighborhood with older fixtures and hard South Florida water that promotes mineral buildup, finding every source isn’t always practical. A whole-home treatment that reduces lead at the point where water enters your house gives added peace of mind while you work through replacements.
For whole-house lead reduction we recommend a backwashing carbon filter combined with KDF media as a single-tank solution. Activated carbon is strong at improving taste and removing chlorine, while KDF works on heavy metals through a redox process that helps reduce dissolved lead as water flows by. The backwashing function periodically flushes trapped particles and mineral scale—useful in hard Miami-Dade County water—so the media stays cleaner and performance remains more consistent over time, and everything installed at the main line treats every tap in the home.
A properly sized whole-house lead filter is matched to your home’s flow so showers, laundry and outdoor hoses run without a significant pressure drop and so it can capture fine sediment that may carry lead particles. Treating water at the point of entry helps limit exposure from anything the water contacts on its way to faucets and fixtures, which is especially helpful in hard-water areas like Ojus. Mr. Pure Water can assess your plumbing, local water conditions, and household needs to recommend the right configuration for whole-home protection.
